Smokeless Joe has opened up on a new location on 488 College StreetThough I have not tried Volo has apparently a selection that rivals Beer BistroLa Palette has decent food and an interesting Beer Selection (Mostly Dieu Du Ciel)

The new Kensington bar is Thirsty & Miserable. Haven't been yet, will probably go this Saturday.

I've been to Rhino once and I think it's a shithole. I had the single worst pint of Grand River Jubilation Ale ever there. It's usually an awesome beer but it was so muted. Rhino needs to clean it's beer lines regularly.

Volo and Beerbistro are in a class of their own, where even beer aficionados can stretch their legs. After that I'd say places like C'est What, the re-opened Smokeless Joe, Rebel House, Victory Cafe, Granite Brewery, Monk's Table, Cloak & Dagger, and The Only are the next best options for beer lovers to try a few new pints. Then places like Magpie, Rhino, Local, Ceili Cottage, Betty's, etc. have a solid selection, but likely nothing a beer fan hasn't seen before.

When it gets to patio weather -- which might be soon, by the look of things -- Bier Markt (on the Esplanade) and Against The Grain (on the waterfront, by Sugar Beach) are decent choices for a cold one. Likewise Betty's and Rebel House for their backyard patios.
